An environmental study is underway in and around Eastern Heights in Grenada, MS, to evaluate whether contamination may be traveling into the community from the former Grenada Manufacturing, LLC, facility (Facility, commonly known as Grenada Stamping and currently operated by Ice Industries) or any other sources. EPA became aware of the potential for trichloroethene (TCE) contamination while overseeing a cleanup of the Facility under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) program.

This study is part of a precautionary approach to protect public health and the environment. Based on results received to date, EPA has determined that there is no immediate threat to public health in the Eastern Heights neighborhood due to TCE.
